Poll Do You Ever Get Upset At How Quickly You Were Forced To Adapt To Your Ptsd Self?

[Ronin]

No, I'm upset at all those not getting it non-PTSD people I have to keep interacting with.

I can sort my messes just fine. But gazillion questions and not applicable advice and so forth are stressful as f*ck.

I feel alot of hurt over it, resentment because I had pre-trauma, but treated like a normal kid....some of which was worse because I was (am) talented, so its normal for me to be pushed. I was very lonely and very confused about how to feel and how to relate to kids who were being happy as opposed to being depressed at an early age. It's so sad about kids having depression because its the one point of your life that is supposed to be geared around play and not having responsibilities so its quite isolating to be burdened by something you dont remember happening

Nope... saving my own ass and preventing unwanted consequences was imperative. I just knew I wouldn't be able to bear up if I was the instrument of my own soul/spirit/physical demise. So I got down, got educated, and got busy.

I am sorry for so many that do not know the pre ptsd self. I remember the me before ptsd but she is becoming more vague. I know of a more innocent and softer self than I am now and feel I was tossed into the place where I had to adapt to survive, To non ptsd people, they do not usually understand my behavior/action, it only makes sense if you have experienced it I guess. It upsets me that I had to adapt quickly, but upsets me more of how many of us there are and that I think our similarities are swept under the rug by so many, and that we still feel like we have to prove ourselves in ways. While I have been pushing forward, I have overlooked health issues that now may not be reversible. That is upsetting. People are so ignorant , particularly health care people who do not have a clue. It is upsetting that we have to go out and flounder for ourselves in hopes of getting some good treatment, not an easy feat when our assertion skills are absent.
